Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread
Ok I will give you a proper translation:
- In a tv show called GIGA Games Fifa09 was demonstrated. I will give you a brief summary of what was said and shown
- It was not a classical demo where you could chose between 2-4 teams only. I think they were able to select any team. The first match was Dortmund vs Frankfurt and the second one was Germany vs Spain ( were was england once again? ha couldnt resist
)
- As you know from Fifa, you can play around in the arena during the loading process. New in 09 is that once the loading is finished you are beeing transformed into the stadium where you can start the match or continue playing around like in the arena but now with all the fans watching you
- You could see on the first look that player momvement is now far more realistic in terms of ball control, tacklings and so on. It looked awesome! The players do fall only if they are getting hit at their standing leg. If you do not hit your opponent "right" he will not fall but stumble and then continue running. Rainy conditions are very different from dry conditions. You will recognize that passes are far less accurate. The ball stopped before he could get received very often and got very fast at long passes when bouncing on the ground.
- The refs were critized for giving way too much fouls and often even penalizing them with a yellow card. Next point on the critics list was the advantage rule. Sometimes it happend that you got fouled but one of your teammates got the ball with the ref aborting the advantage a moment later.
- shots do look way better and stronger but still not with the proper power you would expect them to have
- the keeper is better and catches more safely. he still does a lot of punches but not into the middle of the box but towards the corners
- the game feels a lot faster when running with a player. when passing it sill does not look perfect. A fast direct short-pass tactic is not possible because of the reaction time and the fact that your teammates slow down when receiving a passe. the same problem with players slowing down is with through passes
- in BAP mode the player receives mission tasks which once solved fill up you point numbers. you can invest these points to raise your attributes. you also cant change any tactics. once you become the captain of your team you may change the tactics.

Ok this is some personal opinion he got after seeing it on a tv show. I would not give too much on this but when it was broadcasted on giga there must be a video of it on the inet.
Search guys!!!
and also the other one on 30-31st not long now.
